Related: About this forumTrump/Fox Truce Shatters Over Megyn Kelly, again - Fox News 'Knocks' Trump Over Megyn Kelly 'Conspiracy Theories'
http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/14/media/donald-trump-roger-ailes-dispute/...............
Fox News has a new message for Donald Trump: Don't believe the conspiracy theories about Megyn Kelly's vacation.
Trump has been complaining about Kelly, the Fox News host, ever since she challenged him at the GOP debate on August 6.
The candidate's war of words against Kelly and Fox as a whole culminated in a phone conversation with Fox News chairman Roger Ailes on Monday morning. There seemed to be a truce -- but now that's unclear.
Kelly began a 10-day vacation after her Wednesday night broadcast. Fox says the vacation was planned well ahead of time. But some bloggers and commentators have circulated theories that Kelly was sidelined as a result of the Trump dispute.
In an interview with Newsmax TV on Friday, Trump indicated that he was inclined to believe the theories.
"There probably was" a connection, he said. "But I wouldn't know about it."
He added that "people were very very surprised that all of a sudden she decided to go away for 10 or 11 or 12 days."
Fox News responded with a sharply worded statement on Friday night.
"The conspiracy theories about Megyn Kelly's vacation rank up there with UFO's, the moon landing and Elvis being alive," a network spokeswoman said. "Megyn is on a pre-planned, annual summer vacation with her family, which is much deserved. To imply otherwise as Donald Trump and his campaign operatives have is not only wildly irresponsible, but downright bizarre."
